Introduction
Social work is a unique and dynamic helping professional rich with action and meaning and the power to make a difference for group, communities, families and individuals. The main objective of the social work is to enhance the overall well-being of the society especially for the most vulnerable population (Lyons et al., 2021).
There are three levels of social work, which have been focused in this paper, which helps in engaging the groups and individuals with the therapeutic capacity (Byron et al., 2017). The current paper will outline the client group of LGBTIQ+ people experiencing isolation and loneliness whilst justifying the social work theory in this context. Finally, the use of theory will be demonstrated at micro, meso and macro level.
Loneliness and Social Support among LGBTIQ Community
Loneliness has been stated as the major social and health issue that is confronted by LGTIQ community that involves Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender. The prevalence of such loneliness among the population of Australia is common to be found out in other countries as well. The experience of loneliness among the LGBTIQ community is arisen the various questions are flowing out (Farquhar & Dau, 2020).
This has been emerged in the context of social, economic and political awareness of the rights and needs of LGBTIQ in some of part of world such as Australia, Europe and North America (Lyons et al., 2021). Until recently the little attention has been given to the sexually and diverse nature of gender resulting in a wide range of encounters and settings among such people. It also includes the residential setting and delivery on social services in the home (Lyons et al., 2021).
This invisibility has involved the reinforcement over the decades of discrimination including criminalisation and medicalization of non-normative sex and behaviour and characteristics of gender. In Australia, amplifying LGBTQ voices in social work education and practise makes a lot of sense (Lyons et al., 2021). The historical investigation of social work education terminology, curriculum and regulations related to education, and accreditation criteria was the primary method used (Warr, Cox & Redshaw, 2020). The broad umbrella term is also used to examine how education and activities related to social work has addressed and discussed diversity, before narrowing emphasis of the impact on LGBTQ identities (Van Wijk, Zietsma, Dorado, De Bakker & Marti, 2019).
Similarly, a broad timeframe was utilised to examine how the CSWE addressed LGBTQ-related issues in social work education language, curriculum, regulations, and certification requirements. Moving from the broad to the specific provides an opportunity to take into account the circumstances and the unique voices of the LGBTQ people and groups in this shifting situation (Warr et al., 2020).
Problems faced by Community
A significant increase in the rate of depression suffered by Australian transgender people in relation both to the LGBTQ community and to the larger public is crucial to the wealth of medically based research. Many researchers have shown that this prevalence is associated closely with stigma, discrimination and abuse experiences (Byron et al., 2017).
Trans Australians face some of the most significant barriers:
i) Poor access to health services only with two Australian clinics,
ii) Excessive costs, not only from operations, Sino also travel to clinics,
iii) Differences in federal and state legislation and detailed red tape,
(iv) Institutional discrimination where, for example Trans persons wishing to stay married, after that, Trans Australians face and may be required to get a divorce (Byron et al., 2017). Fifth is oppressive societal stigma that precludes the people of transgender from seeking necessary information from such individuals by those who identify the birth gender.
According to Farquhar and Dau (2020), this collection, with its diverse sources, provides a broad knowledge base, on which future Australian social work research can be built. Such limitations, recommendations and findings for this collection of human accounts, experiences, investigate, and precise studies provide a wealth...
